I thank the Member for his question on how we look at our overall service of supporting people living with diabetes and their carers and for mentioning the NICE guidelines on changes in support devices, should that be closed loops or CGMs, that we must ensure are taken into a wider piece of work on where we sit. As I said earlier in regard to NICE guidelines on some of those additional devices, we are seeing what is being done in England, where there is a phased roll-out. No work is ongoing on a specific strategy, but all the other steps that I have identified in the work that is being done in my Department show that we are committed to supporting people with diabetes as we see the evolving set-up for how their treatment can be supported.
